CLI: Switch-To-Switch Downloads
Where two switches in your network belong to the same series, you can
download a software image between them by initiating a copy tftp command
from the destination switch. The options for this CLI feature include:
■ Copy from primary flash in the source to either primary or secondary in
the destination.
■ Copy from either primary or secondary flash in the source to either
primary or secondary flash in the destination.
